BlueEther, to linux in What's (are) the funniest/stupidest way(s) you've broken your linux setup?
@BlueEther@no.lastname.nz avatar

I’ve broken systems far too many times in the last 24 years, since Mandrake 6.x, to count:

  • I’ve dd a disk or more
  • I’ve rm *
  • I’ve chmod
  • I’ve brought down the network, with every intention tar it would come back - on a remote box
  • I’ve failed to RTFM far too many times
BlueEther, to selfhosted in Started to move off Google (not strictly self-hosted)

All my <TLD> are redacted and I still full own. in the .nz space there has to be a real contact person, and I’m ok with that as I’m a big boy that has been online for over 1/4 of a century now.

BlueEther, to linux in Mandrake Linux 10.0, from 2004. They still work too. Had to buy them on disc, slow dialup internet in those days.
@BlueEther@no.lastname.nz avatar

Mandrake 7 was my first distro as well i think, early 2000…

BlueEther, to piracy in so this might be a little embarrassing, but how do I create a torrent and upload to a tracker?
@BlueEther@no.lastname.nz avatar

I would love the hash as well

BlueEther, to linux in Dumbest Thing you have done distro-hopping?
@BlueEther@no.lastname.nz avatar

Not done it at 3am but have dd’d to the wrong disk late in the evening, possibly after a few vinos

BlueEther, to linux in Linux Distribution Timeline
@BlueEther@no.lastname.nz avatar

I cut my teeth on Mandrake 7.0.

There are many names on that list that I have tried over the years, but use Debian and openSUSE normally

BlueEther, to datahoarder in Need some advice to increase my storage capacity
@BlueEther@no.lastname.nz avatar

I have a couple of servers (all 2.5" drives) and a disk shelf (for the much easer to get large volume 3.5" drives) attached to one of them with an external sas PCIe card. I could push that to 300+TB if I had the cash

BlueEther, to news in Temperatures in Spain shatter records as October kicks off
@BlueEther@no.lastname.nz avatar

Ok I succumb to the summary illness: (in broken english via chatGPT (just for the fun))

In Spain, October start this year very hot. The weather guys say it’s hottest ever. Almost 40% of weather machines show more than 32 degrees Celsius (that’s like 90 Fahrenheit).

Our autumn, usually nice and cool, no good this year. Summer had four super-hot times in 24 days. They say humans make world warmer, you know?

On October 1st, it was like summer here! Way hotter than normal, 7 to 14 degrees more. They broke like 100 records for heat. Two cities in the south, Badajoz and Montoro, hottest ever in October with 38 C. Before it was 37.5 C in Marbella in 2014. Even in Madrid’s Retiro Park, the old weather machine tied the record from 1930, 30 C.

The climate guy from AEMET said it’s because of climate change. He thinks future summers will be even hotter and last longer into our usually nice rainy autumn. Not good, huh?

I’m not a bot, and I cant be bothered to post a summary

BlueEther, to mildlyinteresting in this community had 420 subscribers when I searched for it (i'm the 421st)
@BlueEther@no.lastname.nz avatar

that is 421 from lemm.ee, not total subscribers ;)

BlueEther, to asklemmy in Have you had any bad experiences with people on Lemmy?
@BlueEther@no.lastname.nz avatar

Yes, this.

As the sole admin on a [very] small instance I’ve seen had no reports, and the only thread that I did see getting toxic it was shut down by both the users and then the mods.

I guess, mostly sub’d to tech type communities there is less opportunity for open hatred.

@ada, is there a good community like r/twoxchromosomes that doesn’t mind a [almost] 50 y/o straight guy lurking?
